Running Compression Calf Guards

Compression Calf Guards

Have you tried compression calf sleeves yet? These are an awesome addition to your running kit, optimising blood flow to increase your speed and endurance, and they are very popular with runners of all levels. Compression calf sleeves provide support for the calf muscles and help to reduce muscular vibrations as you run, reducing muscle fatigue so that you can go faster and further.

Compression calf sleeves improve circulation, which is helpful during and after a run, boosting blood flow and oxygen delivery to the lower legs. When you wear compression calf sleeves, you will experience graduated pressure on the lower legs, which helps to reduce swelling and fatigue during a long run and can also provide a stabilising effect for the muscles, protecting against injuries such as shin splints. These are a great choice for long-distance running, and can also be worn to help relieve the symptoms of hypermobility and chronic pain.

The Compressport R2 3.0 Compression Calf Sleeve is designed to increase stability and reduce impact when running on any terrain, and provides high-level muscle support to reduce the risk of injury and cramps. This calf sleeve features targeted waffle knit zones to promote microcirculation and reduce discomfort, and this can also reduce the risk of sprained ankles with textured fibular strips to stimulate proprioceptors and improve balance and grip.

The Hilly Energise Compression Sock incorporates Celliant fabric technology to boost performance and aid recovery, and this is a great choice for endurance runners. The unique design takes lost heat energy and recycles it into infrared light, which is emitted back into the skin and muscles to increase blood flow and boost oxygen levels in the body tissues. This helps to flush lactic acid through the body, improving muscle efficiency and optimising your post-run recovery.

If you routinely run at night, you’ll feel the difference with the CEP Nighttech Calf Sleeve, which features eye-catching colour reflector dots to improve visibility and boost your performance. With targeted medi compression to stabilise your calves, you’ll notice the increase in energy levels and faster recovery times. These are a great choice to increase your endurance and enhance your safety when you are running in low-light conditions, and they are created by young designers to combine practicality and style.
